As long as it creates a wifi hotspot, yes.
yup you can! all depends on the plan you get and who your carrier is. My GF has T-Mobile and there was no extra charge to use the phone as a hotspot. Just uses up your data, but very handy if you just have a wifi iPad, like we do.
If the smartphone has an hotspot feature, yes.
You can't connect via bluetooth (for example some older BBs).
You can bluetooth tether an iphone to an ipad. I don't see why you couldn't with another one. I will try my nexus later and post back.
Depends on the smartphone. If this is dealbreaker for you then make sure before you buy. It's like buying anything else: buy based on your needs/wants/preferences/budget/etc. Don't just assume.Most smartphones can do that ?
Nope. Consider that countless WiFi access points don't run IOS and work just fine with IOS devices (as well as other clients running different OS's). WiFi is WiFi.Operating system used does not matter ?
With an iPhone it works. With other smartphones (I have tested two BBs and a Samsung) it doesn't.
Really? doesn't hotspotting just create a WiFi zone? Surely it doesn't matter which device makes it?
Most smartphones can do that ?
There's a free app on Android that does not require you to root called Foxfi so if your smartphone is android based, this app works on making it a hotspot no matter if your carrier locks the hotspot feature or not.
